"When you have your own stuff, you don't need to worry about anyone else's stuff. So everyone should go into the relationship knowing 'I'm here for you and you're here for me.' And the reality is, I've never seen Dwyane balance a checkbook," she told Arsenio Hall in an interview.
Union added, "I've got to protect my stuff. It's the wave of the future, protecting your stuff."

They reportedly agreed to sign a prenup.
In 2020, OK! learned Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost signed a prenup after they agreed to have one — though the latter was the one who "pushed it."
"Scarlett is worth $160 million, while he is worth around $6 million. With that massive difference in wealth, Colin insisted that Scarlett be protected legally," the source said.
The insider explained, "They both have great lawyers, and the document was pretty standard. They both agree that it is fair — and, although talking about money and potentially breaking up before you even get married isn’t comfortable for anyone, in the long run, it is a good idea."
While Jost is aware his wife "is crazy rich," he is reportedly "not threatened by it" as he supports the Black Widow actress and loves how successful she is.
Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark tied the knot on May 12, 2022.

"Being able to be so close to someone that you're willing to have those uncomfortable conversations ... it's brought me closer to Beau the more that we talk about it."
